Harasser Buggy Now In-game

In what is being touted as their “biggest Game Update yet,” Sony Online Entertainment have released GU 08 for their free-to-play MMOFPS PlanetSide 2. Along with the usual bundle of game fixes and balance checks, the update brings a bunch of new additions to the online action, including the Harasser Buggy. Capable of carrying three players (including a MAX unit in the rumble seat) we suspect some rather interesting combinations will be enterting the battlefield from today. You can see the new vehicle in action by checking out the video below, before getting some additional details about the GU after the jump.

A Small Teaser Of What’s In Store

Hot off the heels of a successful E3, Sony Online Entertainment have released a new trailer for PlanetSide 2. The video demonstrates a ground assault on one of the many bases in the persistent world, in this case Tech Plant HVAR, as the Terran Republic bring the hurt to the New Conglomerate (the Vanu Sovereignty were clearly having a break at the time.) Check out the trailer after the jump.

It hasn’t just been console games that have made their way to this year’s E3, with Sony Online Entertainment bringing their MMOFPS sequel PlanetSide 2 to the show floor. To mark the occasion they have released a new trailer highlighted the struggle between the three empires; the Terran Republic, the Vanu Sovereignty, and the New Conglomerate. You can check out the action packed trailer after the jump.

Free-To-Play, Micro-transactions Confirmed

During a presentation at this year’s GDC in San Francisco, developers from Sony Online Entertainment took the chance to offer more insight into the upcoming MMOFPS sequel PlanetSide 2, showing off the real-world physics, day / night cycles, massive continents, and combat mechanics.

We reported a few days ago that PlanetSide 2 has been officially announced by Sony Online Entertainment, and during the opening day of the SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas (which was happening during the early hours of this morning) we not only got further information on the upcoming MMOFPS, but an in-game trailer to go with it.
